Today Lentol announced the final design will be presented to Community Board 1 in Brooklyn and CB 2 in Queens before the year is out. “The bike lane construction slated to begin in late spring or early summer of 2014 will allow for cyclists and pedestrians to be enjoying a safer journey over the bridge sooner rather than later,” Lentol said in a press release.

“We have been working on obtaining a dedicated bike lane on the Pulaski Bridge for over a year now and I am happy to say it is finally coming to fruition,” Assemblyman Lentol added. “The safety of bike riders and pedestrians on the bridge has always been of my utmost concern.”

“I applaud Commissioner Sadik-Khan for her vision in creating a more pedestrian and cyclist friendly transportation infrastructure for New York City,” Lentol concluded.

We’ve asked DOT to confirm the project timeline, and will update here when we hear back.

Great! Do it before Mayor de Blasio asks “the jury” for a second opinion

Trans Alt and StreetsPAC should use this Joe Lentol campaign as an example for the state electeds with NYC districts. When a state senator asks, what should I be doing for my district? Here you go. Unless they are in leadership, the state electeds have a lot of time on their hands. They should be like Joe Lentol.

Thank God. I will finally get my safe stroll across the bridge back. It used to be a Sunday tradition for my family, but it became too dangerous for us. Thank you, Joe Lentol.
